Don’t worry, I get what you’re saying, and yes, that looks like how she did it (k2tog, yo, k, yo, k2tog).

Thanks, that makes sense. Would I do that yo, k2tog on each side of the middle k ? Probably not explaining very well. I’ m using a Terracotta, CottonEase & just love working with it.

Hi Kathy, misscreek paired her yarn-overs (the increase that makes the eyelet) with an immediate k2tog (a decrease) so that she was adding a stitch, but then taking a stitch away (which made the stitch-count stay the same). Hope that helps!

I love the eyelet detail on the fronts of the green cardi made by miss creek . I know it’s the same as for the sleeves but I don’t want stitch increases there. How do I do the eyelet?
Thanks,
Kathy

Attached
are some pics of my cardigan that I knit during the March knit-along. Never participated before because I thought
the project was too advanced for my skills and time frame allowance. I wanted to send something hand-made to my
sister for her birthday in early April. Being up against a deadline (and
nervous about finishing in time) I stuck to the basics pretty much, only
substituting seed stitch for the sleeve and front trims. I’ve managed to finish in time for the blocking, photo shoot
and even shipping it to her for the special day, even though there was a
week I wasn’t able to knit at all due to
a turbo-knitting frenzy the night before.
I like your cable modifications and now I know that the YO creates such
an open, lacy detail I might change it next time to something more closed or
sturdy. And because that detail is the
only difference in the field, it was a good thing that I frogged the rows that
weren’t exactly lining up, as my better half suggested. Yippee! One Finished Object Done! Moving on to something not as dark.
